It’s my opinion the jury is still very much out on Christina Coughlin the CEO . Whilst we can all agree she is an outstanding oncologist, It wouldn’t be unfair to describe her previous tenure as CEO as being “unremarkable”…!
Anyone looking in for the first time would be forgiven for thinking there was no science & zero strategy before April 2024. FWIW I don’t believe for one second that she breezed in with all the answers and that the current strategy wasn’t at least “ on the table “ , CC has been lapping up all the credit by placing herself front and centre of all thing presentations ( with her awful presenting skillset ) and getting a pass on everything else.
Facts to date are that the scientists are still doing what they have been doing long before she arrived on these shores and deserve a 10 out of 10 for performance, meanwhile, it is appears the management (3 out of 10) are incapable of selling the story.
IMO her honeymoon period runs out at the end of this month, “Judge us in 6 months Shaun Chilton AGM 26th June 2024” , so at the very least I feel we need to see the “white smoke” coming out of the chimney before Christmas ……!
